It was only at this time that Mixed Jianglong realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly shouted to the other side, but he didn't dare to shout too directly, because he was afraid that the officials in the other party's array would hear that he had colluded with the shipwright, so although his voice was loud, his words were very vague: "Boss Yang, I'm Mixed River Dragon, I'm Mixed River Dragon." ”

Yang Hongwu, who was not far away, really heard the shouting of the mixed river dragon, but how did he know the thoughts and taboos of the mixed river dragon at the moment, listening to the mixed river dragon's non-stop self-registration number, the more he listened, the more angry he became, he followed the sound and locked the mixed river dragon, a few big strides rushed to the mixed river dragon, and smashed it down with all his strength to raise the oar, the mixed river dragon saw a figure in the dark rushing over, and then saw a big stick smashed down on his head, because the sky was too dark, he didn't see that the other party was Yang Hongwu, so he flashed the oar obliquely, Yang Hongwu endured the pain and scolded: "Fuck your mother", and then swung the oar and smashed it down, this time the mixed river dragon did not dodge, the oar just smashed on his left shoulder, this time the mixed river dragon's left shoulder blade was smashed, he almost fainted in pain, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, but he was really fierce, and he endured the severe pain and swung it back with a backhand, just slashing Yang Hongwu's kneecap, this knife exerted all his strength, not only chopped Yang Hongwu's kneecap, but also cut off his legs together, and Yang Hongwu, who had only one leg left, fell straight down.

In this scuffle, the boatmen and the salt patrol soldiers joined forces to fight against the water bandits, although the water bandits were less numerous, but they were more fierce and fierce, both sides were red-eyed, the casualties on both sides were extremely heavy, and the leaders on both sides were seriously injured, the other had fallen, both sides felt that they had suffered a loss, they were fighting to the end, and they did not completely kill each other's minds, so they fought for a long time, the more red eyes the two sides fought, the more crazy they became, of course, the more people were beaten, the fewer people they fought.

In the end, the water bandits suffered less, gradually, there were only a dozen water bandits left under the mixed river dragon who were still holding on, and the rest were either killed, or they had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up, and the mixed river dragon was also half disabled at this time, he knew that if he continued to fight like this, he and a group of brothers would have to die here, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Fuck your mother's surname Yang surnamed Zhou, when Lao Tzu recovers, he will definitely kill you." Brothers, withdraw. ”

As soon as the mixed river dragon gave the order to retreat, he saw three red fireworks suddenly rising in the distance, and the fireworks exploded in the air, which was particularly conspicuous in the night sky, but the mixed river dragon was not in the mood to enjoy the fireworks at all, because he immediately heard the sound of shouting and killing, and it was a deafening shouting and killing, and then he saw that I don't know how many people shouted and rushed up. Chaojiang Long was completely stunned, why did the other party still have an ambush?

At this moment, it was not only the mixed river dragon who was stunned, but also the two hundred households of the king of Zhou, who had been supervising the battle behind the boatmen and the salt patrol soldiers, they thought that they would soon be able to defeat the water bandit and the river dragon, but they didn't expect that when victory was in sight, something suddenly happened, could it be that the mixed river dragon also invited rescuers?

The situation on the battlefield is extremely chaotic, although it is a desperate moment, but this week Baihu is a veteran who has been on the battlefield back then, and he is not very flustered at this time, but shouts: "Brothers, don't panic, come to me." ”

But Zhou Baihu's composure did not stabilize his position, because the hundreds of people commanded by Yao Guangqi had already divided and surrounded them, and the remaining dozen or so bandits, more than 30 boatmen, and dozens of officers and soldiers were all in different circles.

"Who are you" Zhou Baihu forced his composure and shouted: "We are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, do you want to rebel?" ”

"It's you who want to rebel" A voice came from the crowd: "Up"

There is no nonsense, no dialogue, only hands-on orders, and the onswoops of the other side. Those peasants who had already been eager to try and prepare to earn a few years of tax grain broke out in an instant under the encouragement of heavy rewards, and the bandits and shipwrights hardly organized any decent resistance, and were soon defeated and subdued, of course, this has absolutely to do with the fact that the difference between the two sides in numbers is too great.

In this way, the two hundred households of Chaojianglong and King Zhou, as well as all the shipwrights and salt patrol soldiers, except for a few who were accidentally injured and killed, all the rest were captured alive.

In fact, to put it more carefully, those who were killed were really unlucky, they were really injured by mistake. If you want to explain, in modern terms, performance motivates results, and in the old saying that there are brave men under heavy rewards, no matter which theory is used, the reason is that there is an imbalance between supply and demand, and there are too many peasants who rush up to arrest people, while there are too few bandits, shipwrights and salt patrolmen, and those farmers and men who want to exempt themselves from forced labor and taxes and grain, in order to take credit for themselves, because of the robbery of people's heads, and then fight, several boatmen and bandits who have already surrendered and been caught, In such chaos, he lost his life in a daze.

After seeing that he had won a big victory so easily, Cai Mi, who was still very nervous and hiding at the back of the team just now, immediately took out his official authority and shouted to the people in front: "Give me all the people to look at, they are all tightly tied." ”

Just as Cai Mi was proudly giving orders, he heard a person not far from him shouting: "Take it." Cai Mi was about to turn his head to find the source of the sound, but he saw a black shadow suddenly appear in front of him, and before he could see who the other party was, this person raised his hand and slapped Cai Mi in the face, Cai Mi was dizzy, and sat on the ground with an unsteady stand.

It took a long time for Cai Mi, who was tied, to come to his senses, sit on the ground and shout: "I'm Cai Mi of Zhixian County, I fucking caught the wrong person, let me go, come on." ”

At this time, a person walked in front of Cai Mi, raised his hand and slapped Cai Mi again, after pumping, this person did not look at Cai Mi, but shouted to everyone: "This official is Chen Shu, the salt and iron transfer envoy of Shandong, and he was ordered to escort Cao Yan to the north." Cao County Commander Cai Mi, as a parent, actually colluded with the water bandits and boat gangs, embezzled the salt of the court officials, harbored the important criminals of the court, and should be a capital crime, but the official is not the chief judge of the department, and has no right to convict this guy, so today's design will capture the accomplice of the water bandits, boatmen and salt patrol soldiers together, together with the county governor of the law, the official's report is about to be sent to the capital, all the meritorious personnel who participated in the capture of the thief today, the official will ask for credit for you, and the official will report to you for your reward. ”
